What to Do Next

I saw her sitting there down at my local bar
She was drinking with her friends, I was drowning my broken heart
Somewhere in the middle of forgetting that memory
She came over and said 'hey can you buy me a drink?'
Little did I know that later that night
I'd learn something that changed the rest of my life
It just goes to show you can't go searching
Cause all the best things come around when you're not looking
Just close your eyes and take a deep breath
And fate will tell you what to do next
Well that was some years ago the night the changed my life
Looking back on it now I think I did it right
I learned a lot back then and I try to pass it on
I take my own advice and I'm still going strong
I tell my friends the same when they ask for help
It may get old still cause I'm always talking about how
It just goes to show you can't go searching
Cause all the best things come around when you're not looking
Just close your eyes and take a deep breath
And fate will tell you what to do next
Don't go searching for answers when you don't have any questions
You just never know what might happen next and
Looking back on that night I never would have known
She'd introduce me to her best friend, look how we've grown
It just goes to show you can't go searching
Cause all the best things come around when you're not looking
Just close your eyes and take a deep breath
And fate will tell you what to do next

Little Things

When I wake up, she's the one I want to see
With no makeup lying there next to me
Our sheets messed up, no more blankets covering me
Don't wanna wake up, cause this is where I wanna be
It's the little things in life that stay important
Not what you've got, but who's there for you
And when you forget, they'll be there to remind you
Not in front or behind, but right there beside you
Always thinking of her and what she does to me
No more blinking because I don't wanna miss a thing
I was sinking, she's the one who rescued me
From the beginning, she made me who I wanna be
It's the little things in life that stay important
Not what you've got, but who's there for you
And when you forget, they'll be there to remind you
Not in front or behind, but right there beside you
Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes
Mine's no good at dancing and blinks when she's lying
It's those imperfections that make me keep trying
Because when I'm with her, I feel like flying
It's the little things in life that stay important
Not what you've got, but who's there for you
And when you forget, they'll be there to remind you
Not in front or behind, but right there beside you

Turned Out Okay

I wish I had a few less beers
And caused a few less tears
The night I missed that turn
I'd have a cleaner slate
A little less on my plate
And I'd have more money to burn
No but I can't go back and redo that night
But I still turned out alright
The choices we make decide who we are and I'd still pick mine any day
No matter what I did back then, I think I turned out okay
I wish I told her how I felt
Maybe could have said something else
Besides 'you know I'm happy for you'
But it felt better to say
Than 'I should have stayed'
Or 'He's not right for you'
No but I can't go back and redo that night
But I still turned out alright
The choices we make decide who we are and I'd still pick mine any day
No matter what I did back then, I think I turned out okay
I wish I would have said goodbye
To those three guys
Before it was too late
But I've got angels now
Looking down from the clouds
And to see them again, I'll wait
But I can't go back and change those nights
But I think of them all the time
And how they're watching over choices I make
All the good ones and mistakes
To make sure I turn out okay
And I hope I turn out okay
To make sure I turn out okay
The choices we make decide who we are and I'd still pick mine any day
No matter what I did back then, I think I turned out okay

It's All Good

We grew up on dirt roads, we were raised on sweet tea
Where I knew you and you sure as hell knew me
We bought beer where they didn't ID
We'd always have a blast, yeah just my buddies and me
Yeah my friends and I tend to raise a little Cain
Probably more often than we should
But when that weekend rolls around and we twist those tops off
Man, it's all good
Most of the time, we didn't have much to do
So we'd run to the store and grab us a few
If we were feeling dumb, maybe cigarettes too
So raise this one up and toast to me and you
Yeah my friends and I tend to raise a little Cain
Probably more often than we should
But when that weekend rolls around and we twist those tops off
Man, it's all good
A few of those nights there's no going around that bottle getting the best of us
Staying up late shooting bull for days about how no one was as cool as us
Yeah my friends and I tend to raise a little Cain
Probably more often than we should
But when that weekend rolls around and we twist those tops off
Man, it's all good
